Fall TV is like the worst single-mingle party of all time. You meet a million different suitors, you spend your precious time chatting them up, and then, nine times out of 10, the one you truly fall for suddenly—Poof!—vanishes without a trace.

AND THEY DON'T EVEN BUY YOU DINNER.

Important message: It's not you. It's them. And it sucks!

But this year, we're going to do everything within our power to spare you from the usual Fall TV heartache.

We've decided to just cut through the B.S. and give you a concise list of the shows that are most likely and least likely to survive. So maybe, with a little luck, we can all avoid a little misplaced-attachment pain? And not be quite so shocked when our "new favorite show" is no more?

The list below was painstakingly put together by E! Online's TV Scoop team, based on a highly scientific mathematically equation (sort of) that includes timeslot history, competition, star power, showrunner track record, odds from our Vegas bookie (just kidding--we would never have that), an infallible Magic 8 ball, and you know…whether or not the show sucks.

Here you go….Plot your DVR season passes wisely!
